This article will explain how Hayya Card holders can bring guests (friends and family members) using the “Hayya With Me (1+3)” by sending them Hayya With Me voucher code.
NOTE: The below article has been updated with new requirements for 2024.
10 FEBRUARY 2024 Update: The deadline for entry under the Hayya With Me (C) scheme came to a close on February 10, 2024. The last date of stay in Qatar will be February 24, 2024.
What is ‘Hayya With Me’
Hayya With Me is a feature that allowed a match ticket holder to invite up to 3 non-ticketed guests to enter Qatar during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™. Hayya With Me allowed non-ticketed guests, such as relatives or friends, to enter Qatar and enjoy the festivities, including fan zones, concerts etc. However, they cannot attend any matches without a match ticket.
The Hayya With Me feature is back in 2023, and allows international fans to bring up to 3 friends and family members (who do not have Hayya Card).

This feature is only available to international fans aged 18 or above who applied using a match ticket number. They should also have confirmed accommodation and approved Hayya Card. Qatar residents are not eligible for this feature.

Hello hayya admin, my daugther came here lastyr july 2024 by hayya voucher and exit last week August 2023. Can i use again her hayya voucher to let her visit doha again this coming june 2024?
Thank you very much for your advise Doha Guide Team. I was able to change my mother’s Hayya visa to Family visit visa by visiting the Airport Immigration office.
Hi Pradeep, Good to know that! Thanks for sharing your experience.
Hello Doha Guides Team, my mother is here in Qatar since December 2023 on Hayya with me Visa. Her visa is valid until 24th February 2024. I have applied family visit visa for her and it got approved today. What is the correct procedure to transfer from Hayya with me Visa to Family visit visa? Is she required to exit Qatar before 24th February and re-enter? Can she change to the new visa without exiting Qatar?
Hi Pradeep, Recently some applicants were able to change inside Qatar by visiting Airport Immigration office and paying QR 500. This was not allowed earlier, but it worked for some applicants this month. So you can try that. If that doesn’t work you can exit to Saudi border and come back. Here is how: https://www.dohaguides.com/visa-changing-process-via-abu-samra-land-border/
Hi DG,
My children is under hayya visa and I got approval for family visit visa for them. Is it okay for us to finish their hayya validity which is until Feb 24 then exit and use the family visit visa?
Thank you.
Hi Ashley, You can do that if the visit visa is valid after 24 Feb.
Hello DG,
I have another question, if my children will exit via Abu Samra do we need to get them a Saudi Visa? Second, and when they enter using Family Visit Visa do they need to show a flight ticket? And lastly, how many months of health insurance I have to get for them?
I hope you can assist me.
Thank you so much.
Hi Ashley, Yes, they will need a Saudi visa. If they are coming by land border, flight ticket is not needed. If visa is for one month, one month insurance is enough. If you plan to extend, you can take 3 or 6 months. You can also take one month now and take remaining months later.
Dear Sir,
Due to the extension of Hayya Visa, shall the visitor will have to buy the mandatory health insurance for another 30 days ? ( From 24 January 2024 to 24 February 2024 ) please advise. Thank you.
Hi Mohammed, It is advised to buy insurance for one more month (to be on the safer side in case of an emergency).
Hi DG,
Does the hayya extension will be automatically extended until February or we shall update and resubmit request through Hayya with me account?
Hi Ashley, There is no instruction about manual updated. Last time it was automatically updated for everyone. We hope it would be updated in the same way.
Hi doha guides. The new extension of haya Visa is also applied for those who travel ‘haya with me’? They can also stay until February ? Also what is the duration of stay of ‘haya with me’ ?
Hi Muhammad, As per Hayya helpline this extension applies to “Hayya With Me” category also. The date would be updated in the Hayya Entry Permit.
